1.	An ethereal solution of an alkyl halide preferably the bromide of iodide, is treated with sodium 2R-X+2Na overset("Ether")toR-R+2NaX 2CH_(3)-Br+2Na overset("Ether")toCH_(3)-CH_(3)+2NaBr CH_(3)CH_(2)Br+2Na+CH_(3)Br overset("Ether")toCH_(3)CH_(2)-CH_(3)+2NaBr In this reaction, the producthas new (C-C) bond with the same type of alkyl halide, the product has symmetery and this helps in deciding the nature of reacting halide. Intermediates are free radicals CH_(3)CH_(2)Br undergoes Wurtz reactions. We may expect some of the following products as
Answer» only a a and b a,b,c a and c Solution :Intermediate is `CH_(3)CH_(2)` which may combine to FORM `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)` (MAIN) and also `CH_(2)=CH_2) and CH_(3)CH_(3)` by disproportionation`
